“The strike hit an oil terminal in the city’s Kirovsky District. The aftermath has been cleared. There were no casualties,” Beglov said.
Local Telegram channels earlier reported a fire at the port’s oil terminal following the overnight attack.
Separately, Russia’s defence ministry said on Telegram that its air defences intercepted or destroyed 389 Ukrainian drones over several Russian regions, Crimea, annexed by Moscow in 2014, and the Azov and Black seas.
Ukraine’s military hit oil and military facilities near Russia’s St Petersburg overnight, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy confirmed on Saturday.
“Ukraine’s defence forces struck port oil infrastructure that generates revenue for Russia’s war, and also hit Kronstadt, an important military target more than 850 km (528 miles) from Ukraine’s state border,” he said on Telegram.

On the other hand, Russia on Saturday struck a gas production facility with a drone in Ukraine’s central Poltava region, causing a fire, Ukrainian state energy firm Naftogaz said.
“A fire broke out at the site after the attack. Operations at the facility have been suspended,” Naftogaz said on Telegram.
“The enemy is systematically targeting gas production facilities in an attempt to reduce Ukraine’s domestic output and complicate preparations for the heating season,” it added.
